3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?
A research success occured when I read very many biographies on Audrey Hepburn in my Reading class two years ago. I was very much familiar with her once I was done it was positive because I made a very high grade. To me, reading a lot on your topic is the best method. Teacher Response March 15

1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because:
It organized my thoguhts and everything that I needed to know on my topics. By webbing, it was clear which topic I wanted to write about. It was extremely helpfula nd made everything easier.

1. Topic: Black Plague
2. Why you chose it: It interested me and I thoguht it was a very important even in history. I had previously learned about this topic and I found it very fascinating. I thought that furthering my education on this topic would be a good idea.
3. What you already know about your topic: I knew it wiped out hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
I knew this disease caused much conflict ( Such as between the Germans and the Jewish) and it changed the world.

I also knew about the ways that they tried to prevent the disease and how what they did with the millions of its victims. Teacher Response March 16
